I am not much familiar with MS Word formats.
I am wondering whether it is possible to convert MS Word Templates and
MS Word documents in to their OpenDocument equivalents (*.odt and *.ott)
and yet /retain/ the style names around the round-trip. Note that the
_style names_ should be stable. In LibreOffice terms, these are the
style names that you see on the rightmost window of the screenshot that
I posted earlier [1].
Sometimes documents can be re-written using automatic styles [2]. The
converted document will look like the original but internally they may
be relying on automatically generated styles [3].
What sort of styles these Word documents rely on (typically). I mean
Character styles, Paragraph styles, Page Styles, List styles, Table-*
related styles etc.[4q]
If someone can create a personal word template and willing to experiment
with back-and-forths between LibreOffice and MS Word formats, I am
willing to exchange notes with him/her and amend the exporter to
accommodate new requirements.
I don't have access to MS Word but only LibreOffice that comes bundled
with Debian.

[2] Automatic styles go in to content.xml and their names end with a
numeric suffix.
[3] If you are a programmer, think of cloning a style-name under a new
name and referencing it Vs referencing the original stylename.
[4] Character and Text styles may not pose much problems compared to other
styles and something little thing
